Tim Ryan Sculpture

4pm Wednesday, as in *this* wednesday, the 18th? I couldn't find that on the pages you linked to. I'm guessing that'll be at the sculpture (causing a bit of a traffic tie-up, eh)?

I think it was *last* Wednesday, the 11th... I drove by the sign this morning and the announcement was gone. Still wondering what the whole thing is all about.

Here's some info I found on it ... hope it helps.

TIM RYAN, Indianapolis, Indiana

Implications of Three, 2005

Permanent installation

The Indianapolis Art Center contributed funding towards this “gateway” marker as part of its support of the Broad Ripple Village Cultural District. Implications of Three is a 20-ft. tall, triangular tower of concrete clad in handmade ceramic tiles glazed with varying shades of blue-green in a matte finish, some tiles with projecting elements to create an interesting surface texture. Ryan was commissioned through the Broad Ripple Public Art Committee and Indianapolis’ Cultural Districts Program to create this piece to mark the northern boundary of the district. The piece will be located immediately south of the College Avenue bridge over the White River, nearly adjacent to the corner of 67th St. and College Avenue and forming a visual introduction to the concepts embodied in ARTSPARK. Future planning for this intersection includes elements of the Graves design for ARTSPARK introduced to create a campus-like impression upon passers-by. Ryan is an Indianapolis-based ceramic artist and an instructor at the Art Center, working with youth from the Indiana School for the Blind. He was a 2001-02 recipient of a Creative Renewal Arts Fellowship from the Arts Council of Indianapolis and an instructor of ceramics at the Art Center from 1989-99.

The sculpture, titled Implication of Three, was just unveiled this week. It's a project that originated from the cultural districts program and was funded by the Indianapolis Cultural Development Commission.

Similar projects are finished or nearing completion in other cultural districts. Check them out too!
